I've always understood that was the normal sequence but whoever built the machine
had it set up in the other manner. When I changed it to normal, it became abnormal.
Everything else works fine except for the CD drives. BIOS is set to auto detect.
I tried to access the CDRW throught the burning software and the packet writing
software told me that the Win-aspi file is missing. Said file being on the Win 98
cd which I can't run. Looking at the windows system file however shows the aspi dll's
to be there. Windows just can't see them.
